How to Hang Your Vinyl Banner

Hanging your vinyl banner properly will ensure a longer life. Large banners act like sails in the wind and can be buffeted easily by even the slightest breeze which can cause them to blow away. • Banners up against a building:If your banner is backed up by a building or other hard structure your installation process is simple, attach the banner to the building using all the grommet holes provided. Screws should have washers that are approx 5/8" in dia and should snug up to the gromments. You are trying to stop wind from getting behind the banner in this case.• Free Standing Banners:Free standing banners can be the most difficult to set up to last. The goal is to allow the banner to spill the wind if it gets too strong and to to that you should use aircraft wire strung between two uprights about 2 inches wider than your banner. Your poles should be staked down with at least 2 guide wires per pole. The banner is then hung from all the grommets to the aircraft wire as shown below. Carabiners are a great way to make the attachment to the wires, and can be purchased at most hardware stores and big box stores. Once the banner is attached to the wires use a bungee cord to stretch the banner flat by attaching to the corner grommets and then to your upright poles. This should pull your banner taught but also allow for some movement that can pull the banner away from the poles and allow the wind to spill.
